"Neutrality as expression and expression as meditation. When I am feeling in balance and neutral, I am fed by a flow of creativity. Tranquility is the in-between place of dreams, which is a subject that I am forever interested in. Resting in the altered state of dreams is that other dimension where things are worked out."

-Deanne Richards

"One of the pleasures of tapestry weaving is the extreme slowness of the process. It encourages me to ponder the tiniest moves, no matter if the image is simple or complex. That effort becomes a luxury. I had the opportunity a couple of years ago to visit my home village in Finland after an absence of seventeen years. The visit was like Proust's madeleines. I was there for a few hours but the subconscious dam broke open. Now I have to reach back in my memory. It's all there.
